The Gospel Alphabet: "O" for "Obedience"

“O”—Obedience

The Gospel calls forth obedience (Rom 1:5) in at least 3 ways:

(1) we must obey the Gospel by believing and receiving this Good News (Jn 6:29).

(2) the faith that saves works itself out in obedient living by God’s empowering grace (Phil 2:12-13).

(3) we are to obey Jesus’ command to bring this Gospel to the nations (Matt 28:18-20).

In our ministries of teaching and formation these calls to obey the Gospel must be clear and unmistakable.
